Industrial oven burners with Buzzer heritage
Since 1911, the Hones family has manufactured gas-fired heating equipment for metalworking and thermal-processing clients. Today, that lineage continues in a range of oven burners built under the Buzzer name.
These burners are used in:
• Heat treating ovens and furnace-style enclosures
• Powder-coating and finishing ovens
• Industrial cookers and processing ovens
• Pre-heating, drying, and general process heating applications
Built from cast iron and stainless components, and matched with Venturi air mixers, these oven burners are engineered for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Types of oven burners supplied
Charles A. Hones, Inc. supplies burner styles that are commonly integrated into industrial ovens and furnace-style equipment. Each style is sized and tuned for the specific heat load and chamber geometry.
Pipe-style oven burners
Pipe burners are a practical choice for ovens that need long, even flame coverage along the length of a chamber.
• Custom lengths from about 10″ to 100″ are available
• Typical outputs range from roughly 5,000 to 500,000 BTUH per burner, depending on orifice, pressure, and porting
• Venturi mixers allow many installations to operate on low-pressure natural gas or propane, without blowers
Pipe-style burners are often used in ovens for tank heating, pre-heating, cleaning tanks, and continuous process heating.
Ribbon and low-profile burners for ovens
Ribbon burners and other low-profile burners provide a spread-out flame for uniform heating near work surfaces.
They are used in:
• Bakery and food-processing ovens
• Industrial cookers and barbecues
• Processing tanks and melters installed in oven-style housings
Flame length and port patterns are tailored so that heat is delivered to the workload rather than lost to the room.
Rectangular and ring burners in furnace-style ovens
Many oven furnaces and compact chambers use heavy cast-iron rectangular or ring burners. These units are well-suited to the high ambient and radiated heat found in industrial ovens.
• Rectangular burners typically operate in the 30,000–90,000 BTUH range
• Radial ring burners supply short, intense blue flames where space is limited
• Raised-port multi-ring burners can be configured up to 1,500,000 BTUH for high-rate heating
These burners are commonly paired with Buzzer oven furnaces and metal-melting equipment, where consistent heating and repeatable cycles are essential.
How Charles A. Hones supports oven burner projects
When a client specifies oven burners, the process usually includes several practical steps.
1. Define the heat load and application
The team reviews the required BTUH, operating temperature, and workload. For oven applications, chamber size, insulation, and duty cycle are important inputs.
2. Match burner style to geometry
Pipe or ribbon burners are often used where long, even coverage is needed along a wall or beneath a hearth. Raised-port multi-ring or ring burners are selected for compact, high-rate heating.
3. Size Venturi mixers and gas components
Burners are paired with Venturi mixers, orifices, and shutters that are tuned for the client’s natural gas or propane supply. Many gas burner assemblies are designed to operate at typical household gas pressures.
4. Integrate controls and safeguards
Packages can incorporate pilots, thermopilot flame safeguards, gas pressure gauges, slow-opening combustion valves, and digital temperature controllers as part of a complete combustion train.
5. Bench-testing before shipment
Custom burner assemblies are bench-tested and tuned for BTUH output, gas/air settings, and draft assumptions before they leave the New York plant.
Clients receive installation and operation guidance, along with access to technical articles on Venturi mixers, industrial burner systems, and oven furnace selection.
Oven burners in Buzzer oven furnaces
Buzzer FireBox and Fiber-Box oven furnaces are built around the same burner and mixer concepts used in stand-alone oven burner assemblies.
• FireBox-IS emphasizes thick firebrick mass and stable temperature control for heat treating
• FireBox-HT and Fiber-Box use hybrid brick-and-fiber insulation for faster ramping and recovery
• Venturi-fired designs allow many units to operate on natural draft with low-pressure gas supply
These furnace families are used for hardening, tempering, annealing, carburizing, enameling, low-temperature kiln work, glass work, and general pre-heating. When a client specifies a new furnace, the same principles of burner sizing, mixer selection, and safety controls apply.
For clients needing a complete chamber as well as burners, Charles A. Hones, Inc. is an industrial oven manufacturer supplying integrated oven furnaces along with the underlying combustion hardware.

FAQs about oven burners
What kinds of oven burners does Charles A. Hones, Inc. supply?
The company supplies pipe burners, ribbon burners, rectangular burners, radial ring burners, and raised-port multi-ring burners that are commonly used in industrial ovens, furnace-style enclosures, and process heaters. Each burner is sized and tuned for the required BTUH, gas type, and oven geometry.
Can you help size oven burners for a new heat treating oven?
Yes. The team regularly assists clients in sizing burners for new or upgraded heat treating ovens. They review workload weights, target temperatures, chamber dimensions, insulation types, and cycle times, then recommend appropriate burner styles and Venturi mixer configurations.
Do you manufacture oven burners in New York?
Yes. All burners and furnace products, including oven burners, are manufactured in the company’s plant at 355 Route 49, Cleveland, NY 13042. The equipment is U.S.-made and bench-tested before shipment.
Are your oven burners suitable for both natural gas and propane?
Many burner and mixer combinations are designed for natural gas at typical household pressures, and for propane at common service pressures, using properly sized Venturi mixers and orifices. Specific fuel and pressure requirements depend on the chosen burner style and capacity, so clients are encouraged to discuss their gas supply when requesting a quote.
How are oven burners controlled for temperature and safety?
Oven burner packages can integrate pilots, thermopilot flame safeguards, gas pressure gauges, slow-opening combustion valves, and digital temperature controllers. These components work together to manage ignition, monitor flame, regulate gas flow, and help maintain stable oven temperatures.
Can oven burners be customized for existing ovens or retrofits?
Yes. Charles A. Hones, Inc. often designs custom burners or modifies stock assemblies for retrofit projects. Custom lengths, BTUH ratings, port patterns, and mixer arrangements are available, and units are bench-tested to match the client’s existing oven, ductwork, or chamber.
Do you provide oven burners for food processing or brewing applications?
Oven burners and related gas burner assemblies are used in food-processing equipment, commercial cooking systems, and brewing or distilling applications where gas-fired heating is required. The same principles of reliable combustion, even heat distribution, and proper venting apply.
